Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a nine-inch cast-iron skillet. Sprinkle with the sugar and cook over a high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has turned a caramel color. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Peel, core and quarter apples, slice each quarter in half lengthwise. Arrange the rounded sides down, in a circle on top of the caramel in the skillet.
Step 4
Place dough over apples, turning edges under. Using point of a sharp knife, make slits in the dough so steam can escape while tart is baking.
Step 5
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender when tested with skewer and crust is golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes and remove by inverting a serving plate on top of skillet and turning skillet over.
